low scores?

[GunnerMan]

Well My setup is in sig. Last time I did 3dMark01 I came just shy of 20000 marks with my 2 256 PC-2100 RAM. Now I have this new ram everythings running much much better, but 3dmark01 still comes up just shy of 20000 points. Is this a good score or does my system teh suck :shrug:

That doesn't seem quite right. My system running a 9600xt around stock speeds will get about 15K in 01, with no optimizations or adjustments or things turned off or anything. Are you sure you don't mean 3dmark 03?

No this is 2k1 for sure, its also wierd because I got a pretty good frame rate jump in most of the games wth my new ram, kinda puzzling oh well as long as my games play properley....

Video cards don't really matter in 01'. Some ti series can hit 20k with the right system.

Is your ram a 256x2 or 512x1? What is your htt at? Are you running the same htt as your old ram??

Stang, hes running it single channel anyway, becuase hes on S754.

Gunner man to get those settings on on the PC-2100 were you running on dividers? Its possible that your still not running 1:1. Also what were your cas settings on the PC-2100?

One other thing that could be causing you problems is your first run could of been shortly after a fresh Windows install and if you haven't reinstalled Windows lately you've probably lost some performance from OS gunk.

Finally have you overclocked that card at all becuase that is a pretty low score for 6800ultra.
